Glenview Automotive

Dropped my car off at this spot. The staff was knowledgeable and upfront about the costs and what needed to be done. They got the work done quickly and efficiently, and I haven't had any issues since. Solid place if you need reliable car service without any hassle.

Great experience here. I was having some assorted issues so I stopped by. Simon checked the battery and said it was very low. He ordered the required battery and told me to come back in 2 days. He worked on it immediately and I waited for less than an hour. Total charge was $400 for battery + $90 for labor. Out of curiously, I called my usual service station (Volvo dealership) for a comparison quote: $525 + $290 labor!

Thanks Simon for your speed and fair pricing!

Tire rotation and oil change. Dropped it off that morning and was ready in the afternoon, as promised. Reasonable prices and friendly service. Would recommend.

We brought our Toyota Highlander in to Glenview Automotive for a major 60K service based on a desire to find a cheaper and better service provider over the Toyota dealer who'd been handling our prepaid service contract.

Communication with the folks at Glenview Automotive was prompt and easy. The price quoted over the phone was the price I was charged to the dollar, and most importantly the work was completed well, on time, and was more than $1000 cheaper than the dealer quoted.

Note that this appears to be a "1 man operation", so if you're used to bringing in your car for service whenever you want and with little notice, you'll need to adapt your expectations for routine maintenance and schedule out a couple of weeks (I haven't evaluated them yet for their response to a more urgent/emergency issue).

Highly recommend them!

This shop has glowing reviews and I was excited to see such a highly recommended auto repair business within walking distance of my home which is perfect for me because that meant I could drop it off, work from home for the day and walk over when it was done to pick it up. I've also been looking for "my" mechanic for a while. Someone I can trust to do repairs that are needed and not try to cheat me. I took my car here no less than 6 times. A couple of examples - my car was making a creaking noise, took it to Simon and he said the axel needed to be replaced (can't remember if it was the left or right side) but he replaced it. Well the minute I backed it out and drove half way down the street I noticed it was still making the same noise. So I took it back and he checked it out, turns out the other side needed to be replaced as well. I would think a mechanic would check both sides...? But, I had him repair it and it was fine, but the lack of care concerned me. Another time I asked if he could check my transmission, just as a precaution. Well he had me park my car across the street, and mind you, I live a few blocks away, but I had a clear view of my car from my kitchen window. The car never moved, and was in the exact same position when I picked it up, so I'm wondering when he did the inspection... I was charged of course...The last time I had him do a repair he did my front brakes. He said I just needed pads and he did the work. The next week I took a trip up the coast and my car started making a horrible noise. I had my brakes checked and repaired before I left right, it couldn't be them. I ended up finding a random gas station and paid the guy $50 to grease them which helped with the noise a bit, but it came back. Really put a damper on the trip because we were worried the car was going to fall apart and we'd be stranded. Once I made it back I called Simon and he "didn't have time" that week, so I made an appointment for the following week. Seems like he would at least try to squeeze me in since he had just worked on my car and I had a concern about the work done. The following week he took a look and said nothing was wrong. I ended up taking my car to multiple places and finally the dealer who said I needed a new brake job and rotors. I had to pay for the diagnostic of course, and I thought they were trying to cheat me because I'd just had my brakes done and elected to not let them do any work on my car. Finally took it to another local shop to a man who has done repairs for me in the past. I should've stuck with him, but I switched to Glenview Automotive because the shop was closer. He inspected my car and immediately saw I needed rotors, and now new pads because the pads Simon put on were installed on bad rotors. My car drove perfectly after that. I'm not sure why my experience was so different than other reviews, but it's very disappointing. Maybe he just didn't like me personally, but the lack of care showed in his work. I don't need a fancy shop or a bff, just a trustworthy mechanic, especially as a woman. Despite me going to him for work multiple times, I thought it was interesting how when I would call for appointments he would say he was too busy, maybe he was hoping I'd get the hint and stop bringing my car to him. Well, the hint has finally been received.

Simon is honest, reliable and so helpful! His prices are great too. We always refer friends to him. Highly recommend!

Great work, reasonable rates. Simon lived up to his great reviews. I feel very lucky to have found this business.

***Best prices*** on tires. Simon is honest and Reliable. His auto shop has Top-notch service, transparent communication, he is a very skilled technician, and customer satisfaction always guaranteed. Check out the shop.

Simon is an honest, knowledgeable and efficient mechanic. His pricing is fair and he completes the work quickly. He has worked on our cars for 15 years and my entire family respects him- he's a gem in the community!

I've only written a hand few of Yelp reviews over the years and I'm thrilled to write this one. I must concur with all of the previous reviewers. Simon is a blessing. A highly skilled, friendly, honest, no nonsense mechanic with a clean shop. Often rare to find. The dealership recommended over $750 of mileage "maintenance service" on my "baby", a white gold 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid. I searched Yelp and identified Simon who did a multipoint inspection, only did the work required and saved me being taken advantage of to the tune of about $400. I found my new mechanic friend. Next, I excited to have my tires installed by someone I feel comfortable entrusting with my "Moet".
